FTA Box + 2 Satellites. Watch ALL Dishnetwork channels for free

[Rabbit_Racer]

This is a Viewsat VS Pro FTA box that you can attach an external harddrive to for recordings. I will legally sell you the box without the decoding fix in it but you can download it from totalfta.com if you choose to watch ALL of dishnetwork's channels including PPV movies,porn and sports channels (the box is legal to buy and own but that changes when you put the decoding fix in it and start watching channels you are not paying for but no one will know that of course unless you mouth off to everyone). All you have to do it point it to the dishnetwork sattelite and you are good to go. I am letting the VS pro receiver and 2 dishes go for $200obo only because i moved and the new homeowners association are being assholes over the dishes. If you were to buy these separately these would cost you well over 300 bucks. If you need more info about how FTA boxes work check out totalfta.com

Dang $200 isn't bad at all, Thats the amount of the receiver alone. With this setup you can point to 3 different satellites (110,119, and 61.5) Which contain all the channels for sports ppv and the special ones . Plus I see that you have the dual LNB's which are way better than the pro LNB. Nice setup!

It's well worth it. Now instead of the old fashioned cards you just plus the box to your PC and download an updated file to the box and your up. The codes usually last around 3-4weeks give or take. But it sure is nice when all is running. Especially on all those sporting events.

BTW this box has a USB flash drive in the front so u can simply put in the new fixes by taking them to the box and simply putting in a USB flash drive so you never have to unplug the box or cables. Like i said i certainly wouldnt let it go if i wasnt getting harassed by the association and wife. You guys can do a search on yahoo or google and see how much you would end up spending if you bought each of these things separately. I just wanna get rid of it all in one shot.

[Gear Head]

I know how expensive they can get I used to buy and resell the Pansats and install the same exact setup you have for over 500 alone.

I'm so old that I remember the "football card" days from Directv. After that I went to normal stuff. Give me a day or 2.

If you havent used these things before check out totalfta.com and read the stickies so you can get a basic understanding of how they work. But overall they are pretty easy and the hardest part is actually pointing and mounting the dish but thats only a one time thing.

[speedylocksmith]

I already have a dish up, would it work, or do I need that specific dish up?

Do you know what dish you have up? To run this box you need at least the Dish network 500 dish with the 2 lnbs to get the good channels. It may look the same in the picture but the dish network dish is actually bigger then the directTV dish sitting right next to it. How many LNB's does yours have?

[speedylocksmith]

no clue about that stuff. It's a Directv dish, that's probably about 5 years old. The mounting brackets are probably the same

[Gear Head]

Ok you can use that dish but you would only get half the channels. Because dish network points to 2 satellites with their dish is why they have the 2 lnb's up front. The way they have it split up is one satellite has more ppv then the other and the other one may have more sports and hbo, starz, etc channels then the other. So it's really best to get the dish netwrok 500 dish for this setup in particular.

The price is not bad at all. The only thing is that you will probably have around 6 months to a year max of free tv. the pron channels are already gone, they are switching to a new encryption and they haven't hack that one yet. the PPV channels will be next and then the HBO and Showtime will follow.

If you watch 40 PPV movies or a couple of PPV fights you will make your money back.
Just go in knowing that you will have less than a year.
They will probably hack it again but there is no telling how long it will be, last time they switch encryption it took them 2 weeks to crack it.

If you get this Speedy, I will help you set it up.

[speedylocksmith]

If I have less then a year then I'll probably pass
